Final Broadcast Ratings: August 2, 2016

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT continues to roll for NBC, leading it to a Tuesday night sweep in the ratings. The veteran competition series, just recently renewed for 2017, collected a strong 11.6 million viewers and a 2.5 rating in Adults 18-49., which is up a little under 10% from last Tuesday's ratings. A second night of RUNNING WILD WITH BEAR GRYLLS had no problem winning the 10 PM hour. The 5.2 million viewers and 1.4 rating in the A18-49 demo, is up from Monday's premiere by more than 60% in viewers and 27% in the demo.
BACHELOR IN PARADISE premiered to decent numbers, grabbing 4.6 million viewers and a 1.4 rating in the A18-49 demo. It finished second, on the night, in the three demographic categories, but third, behind NCIS, in viewership. Compared to last year's premiere, it is up by one million total viewers and 27% in the demo.

CBS was third, with just the one hour of ZOO being original content. The summer drama is up 10% in the viewers and a tenth of a point in the demos.

The CW nearly topped FOX in the ratings. The CW tied FOX in the two younger demo categories, while FOX had the slight advantage in viewers and older demos.
